Cheaper Linear Bearing Blocks

Creating linear bearing blocks for a DIY CNC machine that function similarly to their more expensive counter parts. Also the first part of DIY CNC machine series, stay tuned for the future videos.

Everything in this video besides the bearings can be either 3D printed or purchased from a local hardware store.

I love this design! But, instead of spacers, could you use a longer bolt assembly and a jam nut? That might give you a finer adjustment ability.

Very happy to see your work...I'm building same for my own diy guess using eccentric cam follower bearing might solve your problem with alignment

Can you tell me whats the precision... Like why you said in one of the comments that its not that Whats the error 1mm?

Coolest thing I think I’ve ever seen in my life. Only thing that may top it was the birth of my child.

"That's what she said!" Teenagers! 😂

Can something like this be used in a DIY sit standing desk?

[mrwonk]

Nice placement! - That's what she said...

save some money and buy linear rails.
load index will never match linear rail
but nice for low load application

This is not very good at all I commend you for trying to make something but the cost of accurate components have gone down in price so much this reinventing the wheel is silly jus stop for your own sanity. You might be who are you to blah blah blah I've built and designed several cnc machines 3d printers laser cutters etc. And I work full time as a hardware designer if you don't have the money at least use the replacement wheel kits for 3d printers that will get you in the open builds machine territory. Not great but a working machine you can build from.
